Definitions
- the present invention relates to a video processing device for processing data corresponding to a sequence of pictures according to a predictive block-based encoding technique.
- This invention is particularly relevant to video encoder, decoder and transcoder based on MPEG or an equivalent video standard.
- Video decoders or encoders based on predictive block-based encoding techniques are based on a recursive use of motion estimation/compensation in order to reduce the amount of information to be transmitted.
- Fig. 1 shows a conventional video decoder according to these encoding techniques.
- Such a conventional video decoder is described for example in "MPEG video encoding: a basic tutorial introduction", BBC Research and Development Report, by S.R. Ely 1996/3.
- Said video decoder (100) comprises a decoding unit (10) for decoding an encoded data stream ES corresponding to a sequence of encoded pictures.
- a decoding unit (10) for decoding an encoded data stream ES corresponding to a sequence of encoded pictures.
- three types of pictures are considered: I (or infra) pictures, encoded without any reference to other pictures, P (or predicted) pictures, encoded with reference to a past picture (I or P), and B (or bidirectionally predicted) pictures, encoded with reference to a past and a future picture (I or P) in a display order.
- I and P pictures will be hereinafter referred to as reference pictures.
- each picture of an MPEG sequence is subdivided into motion compensation areas called macroblocks.
- the decoding unit includes: a parser (12), for analysing the encoded data stream, a macroblock processing unit MBPU (13), for computing motion vectors V(n) and variable length decoded data, an inverse quantizing and inverse discrete cosine transform IQ/IDCT circuit (15) for delivering a residual error data R'(n) from the variable length decoded data, a motion compensation circuit MC (14) for delivering motion compensated data using the motion vector V(n), a reconstruction circuit REC (16) for reconstructing pictures from a sum of motion compensated data and residual error data.
- the known video decoder comprises an external memory EMEM (1) for storing reconstructed pictures delivered by the reconstruction circuit.
- the pictures to be stored are reference pictures F0 and FI of the infra or predictive type.
- the decoding unit further comprises a memory controller MMI (11) for controlling data exchange between said decoding unit and the external memory via a data bus (2).
- Said data exchange is, for example, the storage of reference pictures from the reconstruction circuit into the external memory, or the read-out from the external memory of the motion compensated data in a reference picture in order to fetch them to the motion compensation circuit.
- a first drawback of the prior art is that the motion compensation is performed on a macroblock basis, so that the motion compensated data are generally read out from different zones of the external memory for successive macroblocks.
- the data readout from the external memory is achieved in an irregular manner and a video decoder according to the prior art needs an important memory bandwidth due to the amount of data to be read and to the difficulty of optimizing the access to the external memory with the memory controller.
- the data to be read are not necessary aligned in the memory data banks. This drawback is strengthened by the fact that the bandwidth resources do not increase as fast as processor frequency does according to Moore's law.
- the following example illustrates this point in the case of an MPEG-2 decoding.
- an external memory organized in words of 64 bits.
- a word can then contain 8 values (luminance or chrominance) of pixels.
- the motion compensation circuit has to read areas of at least 16x8 pixels.
- the motion compensation has a half-pixel accuracy.
- the motion compensation unit has to read an area of 17x9 pixels in order to compute the interpolated pixel values.
- the motion compensation circuit reads in fact 3 words of 9 lines or in other words 24x9 bytes, corresponding to a loss of bandwidth of 30% (17x9 corresponds to a bandwidth of approximately 180 Mbytes/s and 24x9 corresponds to a bandwidth of approximately 270 Mbytes/s for a MPEG-2 High Definition HD picture).
- Another problem relates to the optimization of the memory controller. This is due to the fact that external memory, such as SDRAM for example, operates in a burst mode, which is not adapted to an irregular read-out of data. Bursts are generated for each lines of the memory. A burst comprises at least 7 or 8 cycles, whereas 3 cycles, in our example, would have been enough to read out the 3 words of a line. As a consequence, the needed bandwidth required for a video decoder according to the prior art is more than twice the bandwidth that would have theoretically been necessary for the decoding process.
- references pictures cannot be stored easily in embedded memories instead of the external memory, as said memories are still very expensive.
- an embedded memory of 6 Mbytes would be necessary in a high definition HD format, such a memory corresponding to a circuit of approximately 50 mm 2 size in a CMOS 0.12 micron technology, which represents a too important circuit surface.
- the video processing device in accordance with the invention comprises: a processing unit including a reconstruction circuit for reconstructing pictures from decoded data, - an external memory for storing the reconstructed pictures delivered by the reconstruction circuit, the processing unit further comprising: a memory controller for controlling data exchange between the processing unit and the external memory, - a cache memory for temporarily storing data corresponding to a prediction area, said data being read out from the external memory via the memory controller, and a motion compensation circuit for delivering motion compensated data to the reconstruction circuit on the basis of the prediction area read out from the cache memory.
- the present invention is based on the fact that, during the decompression process, the processing unit needs to read recursively a predetermined zone of the external memory corresponding to a predetermined area of a reference picture, said predetermination area being hereinafter referred to as prediction area.
- Said prediction area serves as a reference for reconstructing a current picture block per block.
- Such a prediction area can be loaded into an embedded memory, i.e. a cache memory, without requiring prohibitive cost or circuit surface, as said area is much smaller than the whole picture.
- the memory bandwidth required by a processing device in accordance with the invention is decreased compared to a solution without cache memory. Moreover, there is no loss of bandwidth at the memory controller level, as the readout of data from the external memory into the cache memory is achieved on a regular basis.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a conventional video decoder
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a video decoder in accordance with the invention.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a video decoder in accordance with the invention
- the present invention is here described by way of examples of a video decoder and a video encoder but it will obvious to a person skilled in the art that said invention is applicable to any video processing device for processing data corresponding to a sequence of pictures according to a predictive block-based encoding technique, such as a transcoder for transcoding a first encoded data stream corresponding to a sequence of encoded pictures into a second encoded data stream, or a device for performing video scaling.
- the present invention is also based on the fact that the size of the prediction area in which the 17x9 pixel area (as it has been hereinabove defined) has to be found is predetermined.
- the prediction area is limited to 256 lines for decoding.
- Fig. 2 describes a video decoder in accordance with the invention.
- Said video decoder (200) comprises a decoding unit (20) for decoding an encoded data stream ES corresponding to a sequence of encoded pictures.
- Said decoding unit includes: a parser (12), for analyzing the encoded data stream, - a macroblock processing unit MBPU (13), for computing motion vectors V(n) and variable length decoded data, an inverse quantizing and inverse discrete cosine transform IQ/IDCT circuit (15) for delivering a residual error data R'(n) from the variable length decoded data, a motion compensation circuit MC (14) for delivering motion compensated data using the motion vector V(n), a reconstruction circuit REC (16) for reconstructing pictures from a sum of motion compensated data and residual error data.
- the video decoder comprises an external memory EMEM (1) for storing reference pictures F0 and FI delivered by the reconstruction circuit.
- the decoding unit also comprises a memory controller MMI (11) for controlling data exchange between said decoding unit and the external memory via a data bus (2).
- the video decoder according to the invention further comprises a cache memory CM (17) for temporarily storing data read out from the external memory via the memory controller.
- Said cache memory comprises, in the MPEG2 case, 256 lines and is adapted to receive the prediction area.
- the content of the cache memory can be updated in different ways.
- the data corresponding to the prediction area are read out from the external memory in a regular manner during the decoding process.
- the content of the cache memory is changed row by row, each time a row of macroblocks has been processed.
- Motion compensation is then performed directly using the content of said cache memory, the irregular read-out of data being done at the level of the cache memory and no more at the level of the external memory, thus without requiring additional memory bandwidth.
- the bandwidth required by a decoding device according to the invention is fixed and is equal to about 180 Mbytes/s.
- the 256 lines of the cache memory are divided into equal zones. If the decoding unit needs to access a specific pixel in a zone, then a request, e.g. a cache miss, is generated by the cache memory, and it is only in that case that the corresponding zone is fetched from the external memory to the cache memory thanks to the memory controller. So, if during decoding, no pixel from a zone is needed, the bandwidth to fetch the corresponding part of the picture is saved. As a result, the bandwidth required by the decoding device according to the invention is variable and is comprised between 0 and 180 MByte/s, depending on the decoded stream. According to a first embodiment of the invention, the prediction areas of 2 reference pictures are stored in the cache memory.
- the size of the embedded memory is thus divided by more than 4 in HD format compared to a solution where the whole frames would have been embedded.
- a second embodiment of the invention only the prediction area of the past reference picture is stored in the cache memory, whereas the future reference picture is read out from the external memory.
- the embedded memory size is decreased but the memory bandwidth required by a video decoder in accordance with the invention is slightly increased compared to the first embodiment.
- the prediction areas of the luminance component of the reference pictures are stored in the cache memory, whereas the prediction areas of the chrominance component of said reference pictures is read out directly from the external memory.
- the embedded memory size is decreased but the bandwidth required by the video decoder is slightly increased compared to the first embodiment.
- Fig. 3 describes a video encoder according to the invention.
- Said video encoder (300) comprises an encoding unit (30) for encoding an input data sfream corresponding to a sequence of pictures.
- Said encoding unit includes: a subfractor SUB (32) for delivering first residual error data R(n), a discrete cosine transform and quantizing DCT/Q circuit (33) for transforming and quantizing successively the first residual error data R(n), - a variable length coder VLC (34) for delivering variable length coded data from the quantized data, an inverse quantizing and inverse discrete cosine transform IQ/IDCT circuit (35) for delivering second residual error data R'(n) from the quantized data, a motion compensation circuit MC (37) for delivering motion compensated data P(F(n-l);V(n)) to a reconstruction circuit REC (36) and to the subfractor using a motion vector V(n), the subfractor being adapted to subtract the motion compensated data from the input data I(n), a reconstruction circuit REC (36) for reconstructing pictures from a sum of the motion compensated data and the second residual error data R', - a motion estimation circuit ME (38) for finding, in a
- the motion estimation circuit is based, for example, on the computing of the sum of absolute differences SAD, the expression of the SAD being: k k-1
- the video decoder comprises an external memory EMEM (1) for storing reference pictures F0 and FI delivered by the reconstruction circuit, as well as the current picture to be encoded.
- the encoding unit comprises a memory controller MMI (31) for controlling data exchange between said encoding unit and the external memory via a data bus (2).
- the video decoder further comprises a cache memory CM (39) for temporarily storing data corresponding to the prediction area and read out from the external memory via the memory controller. Motion estimation and motion compensation are then performed directly using said cache memory
- CM cache memory
- the gain in terms of bandwidth can even be increased compared to a video decoder, as the size of the prediction area is not normative for encoding and thus can be decreased to 128 lines or even 64 lines but, of course, at the cost of a decreased video quality.
